Education Secretary Linda McMahon Urges Universities to Safeguard Research from Foreign Influence

Education Secretary Linda McMahon Urges Universities to Safeguard Research from Foreign Influence

On August 3, 2026, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon issued an open letter to university presidents and governing boards, titled 'A National Call to Action to University Presidents and Governing Boards.' The letter requests that each institution publish a public statement by the end of 2026, addressing seven key areas, including safeguarding research from 'malign foreign influence' and prioritizing American interests. This initiative does not impose new legal obligations but encourages universities to publicly affirm their commitment to existing research security measures. The letter contrasts with a previous 2025 initiative, which was more restrictive and linked to federal funding, and was ultimately rejected by targeted universities.

GAO Report Highlights Ethics and Personnel Issues in Executive Office of the President

GAO Report Highlights Ethics and Personnel Issues in Executive Office of the President

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report detailing the employment and ethics activities of 206 personnel from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) from January 2025 to January 2026. These individuals were part of the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS), the White House Office, and the Office of Management and Budget. The report highlights that while DOGE personnel were supposed to receive ethics training similar to other EOP staff, the GAO could not verify this due to a lack of cooperation from the White House and other federal agencies. The report also notes that the Trump administration did not provide necessary documentation to support claims of ethics training and record management compliance.

New Mexico DOJ Sues U.S. DOJ for Access to Epstein Files, Citing Investigation Obstruction

New Mexico DOJ Sues U.S. DOJ for Access to Epstein Files, Citing Investigation Obstruction

The New Mexico Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. The lawsuit seeks access to unredacted investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein's activities at Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez argues that the federal agency's delay in releasing these records is hindering the state's criminal investigation into Epstein's alleged crimes. The lawsuit requests the court to compel the U.S. DOJ to provide the requested documents or reconsider the request under formal regulations. The U.S. DOJ has responded by stating that the Epstein Files Transparency Act and existing protective orders do not permit the disclosure of victim-identifying information, emphasizing the importance of protecting victim privacy.
